HOW TO DECORATE A DINING ROOM TABLE WITH CHARGERS

1. Match the Designs

A charger plate is supposed to complement your dining room table décor. It is also supposed to give a new visual interest to the overall design and feel.

Therefore, a careful consideration on the types of bowls, beverage glasses, plates, serving platters, linens, and flatware you are using is surely needed before deciding what kind of charger is able to balance them best.



Besides, there are more dining elements worth considering: floral arrangements, tablecloth, fabric overlays, and centerpiece.

All of those elements should be able to be in a good harmony; otherwise they will just overwhelm the look of your dining space.

2. Know Where to Set the Charger

Don’t simply put the charger on your dining table without considering the comfort of the users, especially when you are inviting some guests to your diner.

Make sure that you put the plate chargers at your guests’ corresponding dining seating. Set a plate charger on top of a placemat or tablecloth.

Place every plate charger between well-set flatware. Put it below glasses for beverage. On top of that, ensure that you give your guests enough room for their elbow to move by placing the chargers two feet from one charger to another.

Last but not least, to get a perfect alignment on your dining table, place your charger plates one inch away from your dining table’s bottom edge.

3. Know What to Do Whilst and After Meals

When you think your guests are ready to enjoy the meal, place salad plates, soup bowls, and dinner entrees directly on the top of the plate chargers.




Then, every time a course is finished, you should directly wipe clean your plate chargers.

Also, do not forget to replace the plate chargers that are used in the previous dining to maintain your dining table purity. Then, set the plate chargers and the other dinnerware in a way stated in the previous section.

4. Know Other Uses of Charger Plates

Once you know which perfect spot on the dining table to place the charger plates, you can take an extra mile in decorating your table. Place a linen napkin or a doily on the top of the charger plates if you want to pass around some food using them.

Next, to create a refined centerpiece, try grouping pillar candles on your dining table.

Last but not least, to add colorful base to your charger plates, place floral centerpieces on the top of the plate chargers. Charger plate is both decorative and functional.
